A favorite for their simple favorites like pristine oysters and roast chicken.
A San Francisco institution, Zuni Cafe does not disappoint! Everything from the atmosphere to the service to the cocktails to the food was perfect. Even the much hyped about roast chicken was phenomenal.
The one, the only, the classic. Oysters are always on point here, as is the famous roast chicken and caesar salad.
One of my favorite spots for a late-night bite, late lunch, or weekend brunch. It's all about the oysters, Caesar salad, gnocchi, and of course the roasted chicken for two (it's spendy, but damn that chicken is superlative).
Great Martinis and Great Food – This place is great. You can't go wrong with food or drinks at this SF staple.
Went here with a couple of friends from work so we go a wide variety of dishes and we all loved them. Our server, Stacy, I think was quick, knowledgeable and friendly.
Never miss dining at Zuni Cafe when in San Fran – I have been to San Francisco 12 times over the years and was introduced to Zuni Cafe about 18 years ago by a good friend who dines there several times a week. After hearing him rave about the food before he took me there the first time, I can say he didnt do the place justice. I have always concidered myself a major foodie, but Gene puts me to shame in that area. So since that night, I always make sure I visit Zuni for at least one meal everytime I visit the city. My favorite of thiers is Chicken for two roasted in the brick oven; warm bread salad with red mustard greens, scallions, currants, and pine nuts. Were headed back to SF in a few weeks and have plans to dine at Zuni, looking forward to my foodie girl friends first adventure at Zuni.
Zuni is a zero. Bad food and bad service. 1 hour wait for – Zuni is a zero
Worst restaurant in san francisco – This is by far the worst place I've ever eaten. Who ever recommends this has been duped into overpaying for mediocre food. Service from matredi to wait saff are snooty and stuck up. If you look up rude on wikipedia you see a picture of the staff.
Nothing Special – This place did not live up to it's reputation. The best thing we had was the ceasar salad. We waited over an hour for the baked chicken, which is supposed to be their signature dish, and it was nothing special at all. Very disappointing and very expensive for what we got.
fair at best – "Fair at best" is an appropriate description. Hate that we spent 175 with a bottle of wine and tip. Service was mediocre, very non-intursive to be polite. chicken served with a slight pink hue, which I am not accustomed to; combination of flavors was to be commended with the fried sweet potatoes and bitter greens. Tuna was a bit strong and not much flavor and too much char on the veggies. too many other good establishments to choose from. they must have comp'd the fodor's et al reviewers.
Great food, great vibe – Zuni Cafe has been around soooo long, and yet it is still so very relevant as a culinary destination. We arrived on a Thursday night and the place was packed. It was around 8pm. We were given a table in a smaller room upstairs, not bad considering we had no reservations. The server was incredibly friendly and very attentive without being overbearing. He made great suggestions and did not become negative when my friend ordered two appetizers. My friend had the polenta with marscapone and a Caesar salad. I had the rabbit salad and the flat iron steak. We split a bottle of Qupe Petite Syrah. There were other items on the menu I wanted (the beat salad, the sole, etc), so you should be able to find a selection of items that will appeal to most tastes. This place has a very sort of New York feel to it. I love it. We will be back!
Decades after its 1979 opening, this San Francisco classic is still at the top of the list. – The Scene
Tucked into a narrow corner building shaped like a slice of pie, Zuni is ideal for people-watching. Expansive gallery windows, exposed-brick walls and a coppertop bar set the scene. The quieter second-floor loft is perched above an open kitchen, where chefs buzz from the old-fashioned brick oven to the sparkling oyster bar. Although most of the tightly packed tables seat a dapper business crowd, Zuni also attracts the occasional affluent family with well-behaved children.
The Food
The French and Italian inspired menu changes daily and offers a few menu staples. The entrees come with a twist; here, "meat-and-potatoes" means perfectly cooked Grimaud Farm guinea hen on a bed of buttermilk spuds, juicy seared carrots and crumbled house-made pancetta. A major draw is the fresh and richly flavorful oyster bar, with exotic choices from British Columbia to Cape Cod. All-ricotta gnocchi, cured anchovies and oven-roasted chicken for two are some of the popular standards on their daily rotating menu. All meat is organic, and the legendary Zuni burger is seasoned 24 hours in advance--with nothing but salt.
Not worth the money. – My husband and I chose to go here after noting the 5-star review on CitySearch... Wish I had read the review right before mine first!
We had reservations for 10. We were seated where I thought was a terrible spot - in a hallway-like bottleneck right across from the waiter's station, looking into the kitchen. My husband thought it was neat to watch the food being prepared, but I would have much preferred a seat by the window, especially since we had reservations!
Our waitress was friendly - when we saw her, which was hardly ever. You'd think that being by the waiter's station would mean she's be around frequently, but nope. She took our orders, and about thirty seconds after the food was served (by someone else), she asked how it was. Our menus, bread, salads, food, and drinks were all brought out by assorted mute staff.
Had anyone cared to ask how the food was after we actually had a chance to taste it, my husband would have said his pork was amazing, and I would have said my "baked" salmon was raw. Literally. It was cooked through about 2mm. If I had wanted sushi, there are plenty of other places I could have gone. I picked around the green bean salad seasoned (too) heavily with cilantro, my husband finished his pork... and 20 minutes later someone cleared our plates. Didn't ask how it was, nothing, just grabbed the plates and silverware and took it away.
To summarize, if you choose to go, get the pork, and don't expect any kind of service from your waitress.
A Must Miss! – A recommended SF resturant on our visit we were anticipating a great culinary experience.
Our reservation was at 10 pm due to their high demand but the host were very accomodating to seat us at 9:30 since we got there earlier than expected.
We had a slight wait at the bar where the atmosphere was very uninviting. Bartenders ignored us and the cocktails we did have were poorly executed and the wait was long at an uncrowded bar. I asked if they had a specialty cocktail and she threw me the menu and walked away neverr to return!
Once at our table, again the service was not friendly or hospitable. Seemed to be a bother to serve us. No friendly greeting or suggestions on the menu, only that the chicken (their signature dish and was so raved about by a friend) would take 1 hour to prepare. You wouuld think being a signature they would have a better grasp on preparation and demand. Another signature the ricotta pasta was also unavailble after we placed that order. We settled for an uneventful duck substitue for their steak special again unavailable after placing that order, and halibut (which was passable at best).
The oysters were good and fresh. Their "specialty" caesar salad was bland and watery. (boring)
Desserts were pretentious uninspired and limited. We passed on them.
Be aware of a 4% surcharge for a community services donation? We had that removed. The coulple next to us was duly unimpressed.
We saw our server only once after the food was dropped when we flagged her down for a vegetable substitute in place of the bitter kale that accompanied the duck. No sign of server after that and was giving our check from another waiter without even a thank-you. The hostess did thank us on our way out.
Poor service, unviting and unfriendly and pretentious atmosphere, limited menu and poor presentation. Everythjing that makes up a MUST MISS! Would have had a better meal at In and Out Burger! Avoid this place. We wasted our evening here.

Worth the drive to the deep mission for rotisserie chicken and a pitcher of sangria.
Great cheap eats without sacrificing ambiance! – I stumbled on this restaurant while finding a spot close to a friends place and I hadn't even seen the 7x7 listing that the chicken was on the new '100 things to eat'. I was really impressed with the entire experience. We were seated quickly and ordered the much talked about Sangria (which is very tasty and at only $5 a glass, a great deal too) then ordered the half rotisserie chicken, which comes with 2 sides, and an order of the ceviche mixto. The ceviche was brought out almost immediately and was perfect. It had the right blend of citrus and also a spice to it that made it impossible to stop eating. The token item on the menu is the rotisserie chicken and it's well worth talking up. The spices they use on the skin are spicy and savory and the meat is just juicy enough. All and all, for 2 glasses of sangria each, ceviche, and chicken with sides we each walked out paying less than $30 each. Which for the quality of food, drinks and amazing service was very impressive. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a casual but still classy dining experience.
Delicious Peruvian Tapas – The tapas were very tasty and the portions were great considering tapas are very small. We also had two of the deserts: bread pudding and torta fambrosa. My seven yar old daughter loved the lomito saltado. The service was stupendous and our waiter was Enrique and the Hostess was also very nice. I was pleased with the food, service, and atmosphere. I will certainly return with my family. 2/1/09
Great find!!! – My fiance and I were just driving around in SF looking for a place to eat. We drove by this cute restaurant that seemed to be crowded and figured it must be worth trying. The food and service were amazing!!! The prices were very reasonable as well. Loved everything about this place and highly recommend it!
Quality and Price! – For $9.50 I had a relaxed atmosphere, half of a rotisserie chicken with two side dishes. Impeccably clean, and waiters that are attentive to your every need. The side dishes are quite tasteful, with a string bean melody that is plentiful and tasty, yuca fries that surpass your typical American french fries. The half chicken is perfect for two and a third side dish would bring the meal down to less than $15, a deal for the ambiance and quality. The chicarron chicken is tasty and and excellent side dish if fried food is not an issue.
Expertly cooked, reasonably priced Peruvian small plates in a hassle-free location? Keep this one under wraps. – A stripped-down but somehow souped-up version of the Mission favorite Limon, Limon Rotisserie is cheaper and arguably better than its predecessor, although it does have one glaring problem: too many people might find out about it. Generous servings of Peruvian-style tapas like the citrusy, spicy ceviche, juicy carne a la parilla and crispy chicharron de pollo are all less than $9, and three of these plates between two people are filling. Also a deal are the towering pitchers of Goldilocks-grade sangria (not too sweet, not too strong--just right) at about $4 a glass. The space is simple, elegant and uncluttered, and street parking is easy, although keeping this place a secret may not be.
Delicious High-End Peruvian at Excellent Prices – My partner and I went here last night for its opening weekend. The service was impeccable -- slightly ingratiating but not obsequious.
For an apertif we had sangria and agreed that flavourwise it was as good as Cha-Cha-Cha's, athough the fruit chips were diced a little tiny for my taste (sometimes I'd eat an orange peel and get a little flavor jolt!). Also, a little too much ice, but otherwise very very delicious sangria.
The ceviche pescado is delightful and served with jumbo maize kernels and roasted kernels (kind of like corn chips but tastier. The fish itself (halibut I think?) is fresh and tangy -- to die for.
The Lomito Saltado (small grilled beef cubes and papas fritas) was smokey, delicious, sublime. But it was really the chicken hot tapas plate was meaty heaven (I don't remember the name of it, but there was only one chicken tapas plate) . I could eat just that for dinner and be satisfied!
I'd highly recommend this place. They have delicious tapas at a very affordable price. In fact, you can go the non-tapas, under-$10 route by getting a half-chicken and two sides of Peruvian perfection. That's high-end taste at food-stall prices.

20 More Creative Product Packaging ExamplesBy Lina • Sep 18th, 2012 • Category: Design, Featured, Latest Posts
We are frequently taught not to judge a book by its cover, but in sales beauty is often skin deep. Originally packaging was meant to contain, protect and transport goods, but later the producers started to grasp the power of its visual appeal as well. Today, looks matter more than ever before and often push us into rushed decisions. So think twice before buying and read the labels carefully. Here are 20 more examples of dangerously great packaging ideas.

TxDOT to potentially fund streetcar plan
Opponents say it still violates promise to voters
An unlikely player has become part of the San Antonio streetcar debate.
"This is the first time that I know of that the Texas Department of Transportation has put that much money in public transit," said Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff, who helped foster the deal.
Once known as the Highway Department, TxDOT may soon be putting money towards San Antonio's public transportation.
"Basically, it's a different way of funding a project that is much needed in San Antonio," explained Bexar County Commissioner Paul Elizondo.
It is different because of where the money is coming from.
The use of the Advanced Transportation District, or ATD, to partly pay for streetcars stirred up possible legal issues. The ATD is funded by a 1/4-cent sales tax, approved by voters.
Opposition argued that voters were assured that money would not be used for streetcars.
Announced Thursday morning by county leaders, that ATD money will now be used to pay for non-tolled lanes on Highway 281 and Loop 1604.
"We will take $92 million in ATD money and we will invest in U.S. 281 and Loop 1604," said Henry Munoz, chairman of the VIA board.
In turn, TxDOT will take $92 million from their Texas Mobility Fund, and invest it San Antonio's downtown transportation.
County leaders and VIA believed this was an ideal solution to funding the project and could eventually help to secure federal funding. They also argued that additional downtown transportation was a necessity.
Meanwhile, opposition believed it was only a way to get around the law and went against what voters wanted.
"It still violates the same promise they were violating before and while it gets them out of one set of legal problems, I think it creates another set of legal problems they are going to have to face," said Jeff Judson, a staunch opponent of the streetcar plan and director of the Heartland Institute.
Judson also believed that TxDOT is overstepping its bounds.
"It's not their role to do these money laundering schemes with local officials to try to bypass promises to voters," said Judson.
TxDOT will vote on the issue Thursday in Dallas.

If you have a good sill gasket between the foundation sill and the concrete, some amount roof overhang, decent drainage, and at least ~12" of foundation exposed above grade on the exterior to dry to, don't sweat it- you'll be fine. The concrete will dry toward the exterior, even if it's wicking moisture all the way from the footing. Keep an eye on it for a couple of years- if the exposed exterior of the foundation shows a lot of efflorescence it may need a sacrificial parge of lime-mortar &/or improvements to the foundation drainage.
If you don't have a sill-gasket AND minimal roof overhangs AND poor drainage at the footing, cut the foam to about 12-14" off the slab to allow the footing & foundation to dry toward the interior.
No matter what the higher moisture/mold/rot risk is from bulk water reaching the foundation, either at the surface or from below the footing. grading the surface so that surface water moves away from the foundation is important. If you have minimal roof overhangs and no gutters redirecting water well away from the foundation, a buried sloped drain on the exterior of the foundation can make a big difference in the average moisture concrete. Concrete is quite tolerant of moisture, but minimizing it's moisture content where it contacts wood is most-important.
Even with a sill gasket air leakage at the band joist and sill is usually quite high- accounting for more air leakage than windows & doors in most houses, and a major entry point for stack-effect driven infiltration. When insulating a foundation from the inside it's important to detail the foundation foam and foundation sill/band-joist as part of a continuous air barrier. (Building Science Corp covers this a bit on their details, but don't ignore it.) Tape the seams of your faced EPS with appropriate housewrap tape or FSK, and use 1-part foam to seal the top edge to any rigid foam you're cutting in for the sill/joist insulation. If there's a lot of gap to fill it's sometimes better & cheaper to spring for a 2-part FrothPak kit (available at box stores) rather than 24 cans of 1-part foam.
If building an interior studwall and filling out the R with batts, make it tight to the wall foam, and put 1" of either EPS or XPS under the bottom plate of the studwall as a capillary and thermal break. If you're insulating the slab from above as well, just run the floor-foam all the way to the foundation wall, slipping both the subfloor and foam under the interior studwall. Use only unfaced batts (rock wool would be best, fiberglass 2nd choice)- avoid using hygroscopic insulation such as cotton or cellulose in this application.
In a Grafton, MA climate 1"/R4 of foam is a bit marginal for going high-R on fiber insulation to the interior of the above-grade sections- R11s may be less condensation-prone than R13s. If you have the budget for another inch of EPS bringing it to ~R8 you'll pretty much eliminated all risk of wintertime condensation within an insulated stud-bay. (Try the Insulation Depot in Framingham or the local bulletin-board list for local sources of reclaimed roofing foam at 1/4-1/3 the cost of virgin stock. If all they have in stock is polyisocyanurate that's fine, just don't let the bottom edge rest on the foundation. With 1" of EPS and 2" of iso glued to the interior you can build the studwall with the studs turned 90 degrees (it's not structural, after all), and end up with a higher R value (~R16 whole-wall) than a batt solution since you won't have any thermal bridging of the studs cutting into the performance. It means you'd have to do a bit of cutting to get electrical boxes etc, in place but that's still a very good solution.

Do you figure you are a playoff team? I asked, and who better to ask than the guy hired to coach the Lakers into the playoffs?
"I hope we are," he said. "Yeah, I mean we're good enough to be…"
Are they? They are now 3-13 against the top five teams in the West after blowing a lead and then squeezing past Memphis, so why does he think the team is suddenly good enough to be playoff-worthy?
As I continued to quiz him, he just shut up, closed his eyes and looked like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz wishing she might find herself elsewhere.
Then he just plain got rattled, and began talking like a man asked if he had any last words and wanted to say a lot.
"We are good enough to be a playoff team, injuries happen, people get sick, the world comes to an end, I don't know until we get in, we're not in and we're going to play every game the way we're supposed to play it and we're going to play as hard as we can play and hopefully we can get in," said D'Antoni without taking a breath or throwing in a period anywhere.
It might be the most impressive thing he's done since arriving.
And doesn't that say a lot, Utah just pathetic and the Lakers having to fight every inch of the way to nose them out.
What difference has D'Antoni meant this season?
Doesn't D'Antoni need to show something more before anyone thinks next season will be any different, or he should return as coach?
He's certainly not inspiring. For the most part he usually sounds beleaguered, befuddled or beaten.
As disappointing as the Lakers have been, it's crushing to know now what might have been, given what's happened recently in the West.
San Antonio and Denver have been hit hard with injuries, the Clippers haven't shown the toughness that nudged them ahead a year ago and without Rudy Gay, Memphis can't score from the outside. If the Grizzlies could, they would have beaten the Lakers.
Oklahoma City isn't as strong without James Harden, but is appearing like the best in the West. And the Thunder will probably be the Lakers' opponent in Round 1.
I think I know what D'Antoni would say if asked if the Lakers can hang with the Thunder.

Often, all that's needed to create a killer album cover is unique and inspired typographical elements. There are various examples of both great classic and modern album covers already released by music producers.
However, since most people have already viewed these album covers at some point during their lives, it's often much more interesting to view the unique approaches up and coming graphic designers have taken with redesign projects of top album covers. As such, here are 12 inspiring examples of typography-based album covers – some are redesigns, some are the originals.
The Wretched Habit
The combination of grunge-inspired typography and great texturing are what make this such a great album cover design. The unique textures help to draw in viewers and the bright colors are what hold their attention.
The Legends
Unique typography and other graphic design elements are what make this album cover an inspiring example. It's a simple, yet extremely effective design.
311: Sound System
This 311 album cover is definitely not minimalist in nature with its in-your-face elements. The typography usage complements the design perfectly and matches 311′s style.
The Cinematic Orchestra
Those designers who aren't afraid to take typographical and illustrative risks are the ones most likely to experience success, as shown with this album cover. This design makes great use of white space and features unique text placement.
Stateless: Exit
A playful combination of typography and messy artwork make this a design worth viewing. Who said a design must be neat and orderly to be inspiring?

Powerful 3D typography, great use of color and original illustrations – this album cover has it all. It's both an impactful and inspiring piece of art.
The White Stripes
When used appropriately, 3D typography can transform a mediocre album cover into an eye-pleasing one. The creative transformation of a microphone cord into text makes this a truly inspiring example.
The Remixer Remixed Again
This album cover not only makes great use of typography, but also incorporates textures and awesome colors for an out-of-the-park design. The design also makes great use of transparency.
Patti Smith
A current popular typography trend is the handwritten design. This cover not only fully capitalizes on this trend but also creatively uses typography to build images. It's splendidly messy and inviting.
This album cover sets typography into motion in a dark and mysterious setting. The perfect uses of black and white elements are what make this design so inspiring.
Sven Weisemann
As this example demonstrates, combining bright typographical elements and dark images is a great way to catch viewer attention.
John Zorn: Naked City
Jagged typography and various messy elements comprise this album cover. This design is another example proving neat and orderly isn't often the path to choose when designing effective album covers.
Album artwork has come to be an element that sets great albums apart from the subpar ones. Various elements are often used when making great album covers such as unique photos and off-the-wall ideas. However, the only element often needed to make an inspiring cover is a unique approach to typography.

LINCOLN — Defending champion Nebraska topped the preseason bowling poll of the National Ten Pin Coaches Association released Wednesday.
The Cornhuskers received 19 of the 26 first-place votes to tally 744 points, well ahead of second-place Vanderbilt, which was last year's runner-up.
NU returns four starters from the national championship team, including All-American and Junior Team USA member Liz Kuhlkin. She recorded a team-high 214.9 average throughout her sophomore season. She had a pinfall average of 219.8 at the 2013 NCAA championships, earning the most valuable bowler honors.
Senior Yan Ling also returns for the Huskers, and could be one of the key bowlers as Nebraska looks to repeat as national champion. The senior from Singapore came through in a big way on the season's biggest stage, finishing with a 200.5 average in the NCAA title match.
The Commodores received two first-place votes and had 671 points. Central Missouri, which was No. 1 much of last season, came in third and received three first-place ballots. Arkansas State was fourth after receiving the other two first-place votes. Maryland-Eastern Shore was fifth. Rounding out the Top 10 were Sam Houston State, Fairleigh Dickinson, Wisconsin-Whitewater, Stephen F. Austin and Saint Francis University.
The Huskers' first competition is Nov. 8, when they travel to the Crusader Classic in Valparaiso, Ind.

Babble Blogger Favorites 2012: Sunscreens for Kids
As a licensed esthetician, I've seen firsthand how devastating years of sun exposure can be to one's health, so I was thrilled when Babble asked me to put together a list of my favorite sunscreens for kids. Narrowing everything down wasn't easy, but after a lot of time and research, I've got my top picks (see the full list here!). If I left your beloved sunscreen off this list, make sure to nominate it here! — Stevee Curtis
Sun Protection Terms to Know: SPF: Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is usually displayed on the sunscreen label and can range from 2 to as high as 50+. It refers to the product's ability to screen or block out the sun's harmful rays. For example, if you use a sunscreen with an SPF 15, you can be in the sun 15 times longer that you can without sunscreen before burning.
Sunscreen: Can be classified into two types: physical and chemical:
Chemical sunscreens contain special ingredients that act as filters. These days most protect against UVA and UVB rays.
Physical sunscreens are most often referred to as "sunblocks." These products use ingredients like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to physically block rays. Most of these block out both UVA and UVB rays, too.

Arawak peoples
The Aruwaks people are one of the tribes of indigenous peoples of the Caribbean. The group belongs to the Arawakan-language family. They migrated from South America through the Greater Antilles of the Caribbean to the Bahamas in the Atlantic. They developed different cultures on the islands, and several groups have been given distinct names.
The Arawak people include the Taíno, who occupied the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas (where they were known as Lucayan); the Nepoya and Suppoya of Trinidad;[1][2] the Lokono of Guyana; the Igneri, who preceded the Carib in the Lesser Antilles; together with related groups (including the Lucayan) who lived along the northeastern coast of South America, as far south as what is now Brazil.
The Lucayan (Arawak) were the natives whom Christopher Columbus encountered in 1492 when he first arrived in the Americas.
The word Arawak comes from aru, the Lucayan word for cassava flour, a staple of their diet.
The Arawak people migrated into the Antilles from South America.
|This section requires expansion. (August 2013)
First European encounter[edit]
Scholars believe that the first tribe encountered by Christopher Columbus were Lucayan-Arawak Indians, who lived on the island he called Santa María de la Concepción (known as Mamana by the Lucayan and now called Rum Cay, in the Bahamas). Columbus noted in his log:
Saturday, 13 October 1492: ... They brought us sticks of the cotton thread and parrots and other little things which it would be tedious to list, and exchanged everything for whatever we offered them. I kept my eyes open and tried to find out if there was any gold, and I saw that some of them had a little piece hanging from a hole in their nose. I gathered from their signs that if one goes south, or around the south side of the island, there is a king with great jars full of it, enormous amounts. I tried to persuade them to go there, But I saw that the idea was not to their liking...
Sunday, 14 October 1492: ... These people have little knowledge of fighting, as Your Majesties will see from the seven I have had captured to take away with us so as to teach them our language and return them, unless Your Majesties' orders are that they all be taken to Spain or held captive on the island itself, for with fifty men one could keep the whole population in subjection and make them do whatever one wanted.[3]
The island became abandoned as the Spanish took the Lucayan as laborers; most died from infectious diseases. The islands passed back and forth between Spanish and English control.
On 17 February 1627, Captain Henry Powell, ship Olive Blossom, landed to settle the island. Sometime afterward, he brought about thirty Arawak from Guiana as laborers. He later was appointed as the first English Governor of the Isle of Barbados.[4]
By 1739, Moravian Brethren missionaries arrived in Fort Nassau on the Berbice River in Guyana, then a Dutch colony, where they founded Pilgerhut (Pilgrims' Watch) as a mission. It followed practices of their mother congregation in Herrnhut, Saxony. They taught their ways by example. The missionary Heinrich Beutel wrote about the Lucayan villagers he encountered:[citation needed]
Used to the heat of the rain forest, Arawak families lived without clothes. Arawak men had never done gardening or work around home. They only hunted fish, and let the women do the rest. Even women expecting babies, or with little ones in their care, worked in cassava patches while men sat in hammocks under the shade. When asked if they wanted to get married did not seem in a hurry. The Indians kept themselves cleaner than the Europeans. Believing that sweat weakens the body, they bathed frequently throughout the day. In their houses—thatched shelters without walls—they sat on clean sand, and they treated one another very politely. Young people called their parents and others of that age "honoured ones." Older people called all young men "handsome ones" and it took them a while to learn the European titles for women, girls and children, and how to use them. Even though the Arawaks did not have an exact word for humility, they well knew the attitude. One should not look another person in the face while speaking "like a dog," they believed. Rather, one should rise so that others might sit and count it a privilege to give. Arawak hospitality always involved eating and drinking together and even drank of fermented cassava, held frequent love feasts, and fought at their festivals.
The villagers showed an interest in learning and, after two learned to read, they began to hold classes for the rest. They helped the missionaries translate scriptures and songs into their language. The Arawak and Europeans did not share a common understanding of right and wrong. They lived according to rigid ethics of their own, something the Europeans realised they could learn from the Arawaks. Soon Pilgerhut, with its hour-a-day meetings (and monthly all-day meetings) attracted up to one hundred and fifty villagers. During the cassava harvest, or at great fish poisonings along the river, they sang German and Arawak songs. Rarely, during these evening meetings, the believers noticed new faces among the crowd—not Arawak, but painted Caribs and Waraus, clutching tall spears. By 1748 the first Arawak European-style wedding was celebrated at Pilgerhut.[5][6]
Charles Daniel Dance noted in his Chapters From a Guianese Log-book (1881):
The children all spoke a Dutch [German] patois besides the Arawak Indian tongue; and with a Dutch teacher to instruct them, it is not difficult to conceive the manner in which they read their English lessons.[7]
On the islands of the Caribbean, the Taíno grew crops in conucos, large mounds of earth used as planting beds for vegetable farming. They packed the conuco with leaves to provide nutrition and prevent soil erosion. They planted a large variety of crops to ensure that some would grow and ripen regardless of the season. Yuca (cassava) was a staple food. The Taino also grew maize, which was unusual for Caribbean islanders. Taino women did all the agricultural and craft work.
They used large, stable, slow rafts for trade to the Mesoamerican civilizations and inter-island travel. Smaller, faster but less stable canoes were used for intra-island shore travel. The men generally used their time as warriors, fishermen, hunters and in trading.[8]
The Taíno crafted items and clothing to support their lives. The women made the pottery and baskets, used for many purposes, and wove and sewed cotton for clothing.
Men's competitive games were part of their ritual worship and ceremony. Areyto included religious ceremonies, and another game was similar to soccer. Both were played in the batéy (an arena-like field flanked by huge standing stones depicting images of the Taino religion). Men generally worked the stone tools and made stone sculpture.
Men and women painted their bodies and wore jewellery made of gold, stone, bone, and shell. They also participated in informal feasts and dances. The Taíno drank alcohol made from fermented corn, and used tobacco in religious ceremonies.
The Taino developed the hammock (the name derives from the Taíno term hamaca), which the Spanish first saw used on the island they later named Hispaniola. The Spanish adopted hammocks to use on ships as a convenient means to increase the crew capacity and improve sanitary conditions of the sleeping quarters. Previously straw had been used for bedding, but it quickly became rotten and infested by parasites in the damp, cramped crew quarters. Cotton cloth hammocks could be washed easily if they became soiled, and were strong and durable.
Robert Gordon Latham, in his lectures of February 1851 on ethnology of the Indians of British Guiana, wrote:
- "The Pe-i-man is the Arawak Shaman. He it is who names the children – for a consideration. Failing this, the progeny goes nameless; and to go nameless is to be obnoxious to all sorts of misfortunes. Imposture is hereditary; and as soon as the son of a conjuror enters his twentieth year, his right ear is pierced, he is required to wear a ring, and he is trusted with the secrets of the craft."[9]
The Arawak of the Amazon Basin were known for making terra preta, a soil produced by slow-burning fires. The fires were used to clear the dense foliage, and the ashes enriched the soil with phosphorus and potassium. This innovation helped the Arawak develop more densely populated settlements, from the Acutuba tribes (about 100-200 people per settlement) to the Manacapuru, to finally the Paradao. The latter were estimated to have towns numbering thousands of people. The soil produced by these tribes is still used today to support the growing number of people settling in the Basin. It can be a model of a sustainable way of farming rather than shifting away from exhausted fields to clear new ones.[10]
Population decline[edit]
The Native Americans were decimated by epidemics of infectious Eurasian diseases brought from Europe, such as smallpox, to which they had no immunity. In addition, Spain's harsh policies of enslavement, resettlement, and the separation of families – the encomienda system – contributed to the dramatic decline of Taino society within a few decades after contact.[11] Survivors intermarried with new peoples in the islands, and some of their DNA survives among descendants in the region.
Frederick Albion Ober, after his trip in July 1898 of the West Indies, notes:
- "... a barbarous fact. When the ancient Caribs came here from the south, they came as conquerors, and killed every adult male Arawak who fell into their hands. But they preserved the women and children,..."[12]
Only the Carib remain among the original Antillean populations of Ciboney, Taino, and Carib. Communities of Taino-descendents continue to exist in Eastern Cuba. Taíno/Arawakan language is not spoken but there is a strong "indio" identity to the present day.
Recent DNA studies indicate that the majority of people in Puerto Rico have direct-line maternal ancestry to Taíno/Arawakan ancestors.[13] This study, under the Taino genome project, started in 1999 through a grant from the United States National Science Foundation. After testing mitochondrial DNA of residents throughout the island, researchers found that 62 percent of Puerto Ricans have direct-line maternal Amerindian ancestry. (Over the many generations since European encounter, other maternal ancestors have contributed to non-direct lines.)
The Orinoco Arawak tribes, whose ancestors were common to those groups that migrated to the islands, live throughout northern mainland South America. Several hundred thousand reside in Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, St. Vincent, and French Guiana. Approximately 300,000 Wayuu Arawak live in Venezuela, with 150,000 Wayuu in the neighbouring area of Colombia. Approximately 1,600 Lokono/Arawak live at St. Cuthbert's Mission (Arawak: Pakuri) in Guyana.[citation needed]
Arawak people[edit]
- John P. Bennett - (Lokono), first Amerindian ordained as an Anglican priest in Guyana, linguist and author of An Arawak-English Dictionary (1989).
- Stephen Campbell - (Lokono), first Amerindian Member of Parliament in Guyana.
- George Simon - (Lokono), artist and archaeologist from Guyana.

Successful digital transformation enables an enterprise to drive revenue, increase customer satisfaction, and win competitive advantage through new digital channels and experiences. To get there, chief digital officers must be able to juggle priorities and manage investments, starting deep within an enterprise's processes and tools and extending out to the cutting edge of consumer experience.
When targeting developers with your digital strategy, a once-size-fits-all approach is seldom successful. Most successful programs start with a focused strategy that targets the specific needs of a particular kind of developer and is based on an analysis of developer populations and profiles.
In this webcast, Apigee's Sam Ramji and Michael Rasalan from Evans Data Corp., the leader in research and market intelligence in the software development industry, discuss why understanding the size and makeup of the developer community is critical to your adoption strategy.
With the explosive growth in API use in every sector, business unit leaders at enterprises that are undergoing digital transformations are calling upon their chief security officers and chief information security officers to ensure the security of APIs.
Security must be built into the APIs themselves. But that's not enough. Threat protection, identity services, infrastructure security, and compliance also must be top of mind. This eBook provides a framework to help CSOs and CISOs consider API security.
API management came about to help companies create and manage developer ecosystems by following in the footsteps of the successful API programs of Twitter and Facebook. Today, APIs have become the connective tissue that powers all interactions with customers and partners across an extended value chain.
In this webcast, Apigee's Ed Anuff and Dilshad Simons discuss the technical and business implications of this shifted landscape.
Although APIs and SOA share similarities, they're designed for very different use cases. In this webcast, Ed Anuff and Dilshad Simons discuss the fundamental differences between API and SOA governance, how API consumption is different from service exposure, and how a good design pattern at the SOA tier is an anti-pattern at the API tier, and vice versa.
API industrialization describes a set of technologies for publishing APIs with the efficiency, agility, and scale needed to compete in the digital world. In this webcast, Accenture's Teresa Tung and Apigee's Brian Pagano discuss an API maturity model and steps to move beyond API enablement to an industrial-strength API strategy.
You may have seen the occasional person wearing Google Glass, and you've very likely heard a lot about this groundbreaking wearable computing device. Beyond the hype, the odd encounter on the street, and the pictures of the device on Sergey Brin's face, what do you really know about it? How is it similar to other mobile devices, and how is it different, and what kinds of opportunities does it open up for app development?

The 50 highest-earning American athletes
For the first time since SI.com began publishing the Fortunate 50 in 2004, Tiger Woods is not No. 1. He's not even No. 2. That honor goes once again to Phil Mickelson. The new No. 1 (for now) is Floyd Mayweather, who was unranked a year ago but scored two huge pay-per-view paydays to earn $85 million without a single endorsement.
This year's list is unique for a couple more reasons. NBA players, who have historically claimed more spots in the Fortunate 50 than any other group, had their salaries slashed by nearly 20 percent this season because of the 66-game schedule brought on by the lockout of 2011.
Our findings consisted solely of salary, winnings, bonuses, endorsements and appearance fees. We consulted players' associations, tour records, agents and news reports. Our endorsement estimates for 2012 came from Burns Entertainment & Sports Marketing, other sports-marketing executives and analysts, and agents. Salary figures were based on current or most recently completed seasons (July 1 for the NFL, which is why Drew Brees, who just signed a $100 million deal last Friday, isn't on the list). For winnings-based sports (auto racing, golf, tennis), we used the 2011 calendar year. Boxing purses are from June 2011 through May 2012. Candidates for the U.S. 50 had to be American citizens and currently active in their sports.

The Wolverine struggled through some pretty bad posters before arriving back at the striking sumi-e inspired portraits of its characters. It seems that graffiti artist Poster Boy NYC believed that Logan could look even more intimidating in the poster, however, with the help of some strategic subway poster vandalism.

North Alabama's recent decision to formally explore a move to Division I complicates an already difficult situation, but key Gulf South Conference administrators say they are committed to finding solutions that will stabilize the conference and Division II football in the region.
North Alabama, currently a member of the Gulf South Conference, last week announced plans to reclassify to Division I's Football Championship Subdivision. The timetable is not overly specific, and a North Alabama board of trustees member indicated the reclassification depends on whether fundraising goals can be met.
"We have a series of UNA benchmarks to meet, and if you don't meet them, you don't go," board member Steve Pierce told the Florence (Ala.) Times Daily. "It's a process, and it's going to be our job to work through that process in the days, weeks and months to come."
Still, the university is clearly serious about making the effort to reclassify, thus raising new questions about the future of football in the GSC.
The conference was rocked last year when all six of its Arkansas members chose to join a collection of Oklahoma institutions in forming the Great American Conference.
That left the Gulf South with nine institutions, but only five in football: Delta State, North Alabama, Valdosta State, West Alabama and West Georgia. The situation appeared to stabilize a bit earlier this year when the University of New Orleans announced that it would reclassify from Division I, join the GSC and launch a football program within five years.
However, the North Alabama announcement caused new issues for the remaining members, some of which are Division II football royalty. Valdosta State and Delta State both have won Division II football championships, and Delta State reached the title game last December.
Until the departure of the Arkansas members, the Gulf South had been stable for a decade. But the current GSC membership is very different from two decades ago. At that time, the Arkansas schools were still members of the NAIA. Besides the remaining football members of the GSC, other members in 1990 were Mississippi College (now Division III), Jacksonville State (I FCS), Troy State (I FBS) and Tennessee-Martin (I FCS).
The result of all of the change is that the conference is in a different state than at any time in its history, with its football-playing members significantly isolated from other Division II opponents. The situation may be exacerbated, somewhat ironically, by Division II's regionalization and championship-selection policies.
Pierce, the North Alabama trustee, cited the isolation issue at the time of the announcement, claiming that there are currently 21 Division I programs within a 3.5-hour radius of the school but only five Division II programs.
One athletics administrator, speaking anonymously, said the scheduling concerns are well-founded, at least in football.
Division II championships-selection criteria emphasize in-region/out-of-conference games, but such contests haven't been readily available for GSC schools. Last year in the South region, Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference institutions played themselves and one out-of-conference game, all against other historically black institutions. That left the South Atlantic Conference as the other option for the Gulf South, and SAC schools generally had other ways to fill their schedules (and comply with the scheduling mandates) without playing GSC schools. Only three regular-season football games were played between GSC and SAC teams in 2010.
"It becomes difficult," said Jeremy McClain, athletics director at Delta State. "There just aren't options, and I know that's one thing UNA probably had to look at."
Valdosta State AD Herb Reinhard echoed the sentiment.
"North Alabama is one of our chief rivals in all of our sports, but especially in football," he said. "With the loss of the Arkansas schools to the Great American Conference, football scheduling has become a challenge for us, and the loss of another football-playing institution – yeah, that's something that we have to be concerned about."
The matter will be near the top of the agenda for the Gulf South meetings this week in Birmingham, Ala.
Perhaps most importantly, the GSC is seeking new member schools in the Southeast. There have been reports that some Division I programs in the region may be considering reclassification, and talks have been occurring with a number of non-NCAA institutions.
Other help might be on the way.
This year, the SIAC will split into two five-team divisions, which will mean a seven-game conference schedule (four within the division; three against the other), rather than the nine-game schedule of the past. SIAC Information Director Ben Baxter said the move was intended to generate more nonconference games, which will benefit not only the SIAC but also the remaining Gulf South members.
Also, Delta State will benefit from the rule that permits a program to count games against opponents from contiguous states as in-region contests. The six Great American opponents in Arkansas will all qualify.
Finally, the GSC will continue its scheduling alliance with the Lone Star Conference in Texas and Oklahoma, which will help fill the schedule, even if the games are out of region.
None of that fully covers the fact that, at the moment, the Gulf South is staring at a period when it might have only four football-playing members. Other conferences are generally booked with their own games for the last 50 to 75 percent of the season.
Through it all, Delta State's McClain is remaining upbeat.
"I'm not a pessimist," he said. "I believe in what we're doing. But I'm a realist, and I know that we've got to take a close look at what we're doing from a conference standpoint."

When Kyle Orton went down with a sprained ankle on the last offensive play of the first half against the Redskins, my friend and game-time text-exchanger, Jesse Hope, texted me: "Did you ever think you'd be this scared about losing Orton to injury?"
For once, I played the optimist.
"[Backup Chris] Simms is pretty solid," I responded. "We'll see what happens." What happened? After Orton led the Broncos offense to 17 first-half points, including two first-quarter touchdown bombs to Brandon Marshall for 40 and 75 yards, Simms managed a less than meager 3 of 13 for 13 yards and an interception.
Behind Simms in the second half, the Donkeys got blanked, and lost the game 27-17.
After losing three straight and letting the Chargers back into the race for the AFC West, the Broncos needed this one against a struggling Redskins team, who were playing without franchise running back Clinton Portis. Instead, the Broncos gave a textbook display on how to let a bad team beat you: turnovers (lost the turnover battle 2-0), special teams follies, and an injured starting quarterback.
The low point came half way through the second quarter. The Redskins faced a 4th and 20 from the Broncos 35, lined up for a field goal, audibled to a pooch punt formation and…called a time out.
Josh McDaniels: Why on earth would a team call a timeout after audibling out of a field goal formation?
Oh. The Redskins come out of the timeout, and again, line up for a field goal. Again, they audible to the pooch punt formation. And…oops, punter Hunter Smith took the snap, wandered to the right, and heaved it to his left, for a 35-yard touchdown pass.
Unacceptable. This was the real turning point in the game, and possibly, the season – the transformation from Broncos to Donkeys.
On the ensuing drive, the Donkeys drove 82 yards, using the last 6:25 left in the half, and on the last play, Orton got his legs caught under a Redskins defender and limped off the field. Matt Prater hit a 24-yard field goal on the next play, kicked the ball off to the Redskins, and the half was over.
Simms came out in the second half and led the Donkeys on an eight-play, 23-yard drive before being forced to punt. Not horrible, especially considering Simms' performance for the rest of the game.
That was horrible.
The rest of the Donkeys drives: -5 yards (punt), 23 yards (interception), 0 yards (turnover on downs), and -7 yards (end of game).
The Donkeys offensive performance (or lack thereof) in the second half, demonstrated the importance of the most underrated position in the NFL – the backup quarterback. Simms hadn't taken a single snap so far this season, and suddenly, he was the guy. And with Orton's status still unclear, Simms may have to be the guy this Sunday against the Chargers in Denver; easily the biggest game of the year, after the Chargers on three in a row to improve to 6-3 and erase the Broncos 3 1/2 game lead in the AFC West.
Sunday could very well determine the winner of the AFC West. Orton led the Broncos to a 6-2 start through the first half of the season, and a 17-14 lead through the first half against the Redskins. Simms struggled mightily in his half in Washington.
Which quarterback lines up under center will have a huge impact on Sunday's game against the Chargers and the rest of the season.
I never thought I'd be this scared to lose Kyle Orton to injury.

KWCH 12 Eyewitness News
4:42 PM EDT, April 13, 2012
(HAYSVILLE, Kan.)
A seventeen-year-old Campus High School senior named Katie was at work Thursday night when she received a surprising phone call from her sister.
"Colton just opened your box on national television," said Katie's sister. "I was just like, this is some kind of sick joke. You're joking." Her sister responded that she was serious. "I just stared jumping up and down, was like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh."
Earlier, Katie sent a package to American Idol contestant Colton Dixon asking him to go with her to her high school prom.
She didn't have a date so she bought a life-sized Justin Bieber cut out, dressed up in her prom dress and took photos of herself along side the cardboard teen heart throb looking upset.
Katie then pasted a picture of Dixon's face to the cardboard Bieber and posed happily for the camera.
She sent the pictures to Dixon in a shoe box with the simple message on the outside that read, "Prom?!"
"I didn't think this was going to go anywhere," said Katie. "[I thought] at least if he would see it, he would get a laugh out of it, let alone have it opened on national television."
When Katie got home from work, she watched the clip of Dixon opening her box on American Idol about four times she said and called the experience surreal and shocking.
Dixon said it was a "strong maybe" that he will attend her prom and has until April 28 to give his final answer. He sent a message to her via Twitter last night saying, "Hey! I'm flattered! Thanks for the awesome box, and the Beiber cutout is hilarious! Hope to meet you soon!"
Katie says she thinks Dixon has "has amazing talent" and is hoping he agrees to be her prom date.
"Oh my gosh, I would be ecstatic," says Katie. "I don't even know what I would do. I hope he says yes."

Reducing differences in the uptake of immunisations (PH21)
immunisation for children and young people
Fast, easy summary view of NICE guidance on 'immunisation for children and young people'
Guidance on differences in the uptake of immunisations (including targeted vaccines) in people younger than 19 years
This guidance is for NHS and other professionals responsible for the immunisation of children and young people. They may work in: children's services, local authorities, education and the wider public, private, voluntary and community sectors. It may also be of interest to parents.
The guidance aims to increase immunisation uptake among those aged under 19 years from groups where uptake is low. It also aims to ensure babies born to mothers infected with hepatitis B are immunised.
Recommendations 1 to 5 apply to all childhood vaccinations. Recommendation 6 focuses on the infant hepatitis B vaccination programme. They include advice to:
- improve access to immunisation services, for example, by extending clinic times and making sure clinics are 'child-friendly'
- provide parents and young people with tailored information and support and an opportunity to discuss any concerns
- check children and young people's immunisation status during health appointments and when they join nurseries, playgroups, schools and further education colleges, and offer them vaccinations
- ensure babies born to hepatitis B-positive mothers are given all recommended doses of the vaccine on time, a blood test to check for infection and, where appropriate, hepatitis B immunoglobulin.
Website and hyperlink changes - August 2010
The website www.immunisations.nhs.uk which is referred to in many documents on these pages has been closed. Resources for professionals are now available from new Department of Health pages at http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publichealth/Immunisation/index.htm and for parents, carers and patients at http://www.nhs.uk/livewell/childhealth1-5/pages/childimmunisation.aspx It has not been possible to update all hyperlinks in all NICE documents to reflect these changes.

Group Lodging Policies
Posted By mindy On February 2, 2010 @ 11:38 pm In | Comments Disabled
We want all of our guests to have a fabulous stay at Stone Mountain so we try to clarify our policies up front. Here are the Policies specific for Group Lodging reservations and payment. Please review carefully!
Minimum Number of Nights for Groups
Reserving All 21 Units – A 50% non-refundable deposit is due at reservation time. The total non-refundable balance is due 60 days before the first arrival day. This is considered as booking the entire lodging portion of the property for exclusive use of your group. If your reservation drops to fewer than 21 units, before your final payment is made, you will no longer have exclusive use of the property.
Both the deposit and the balance will be paid by the Group Coordinator. It is up to the Group Coordinator to collect or not collect funds from the members of the group. The Group Coordinator will provide Stone Mountain Lodge with a full lodging assignment list with names, phone number/email and number of persons (adults and children) per unit, by email, fax or postal mail no later than 30 days prior to the group's arrival.
The set price for reserving all 21 units allows your group an occupancy per unit that is no greater than the maximum occupancy listed for each unit in the Unit Summary. In other words you can not have 5 adults in a unit that has a maximum occupancy of 4.
Reserving Fewer Than 21 Units – A 50% deposit is due at reservation time. Any unit cancelled by the group or group member, 60 or more days before arrival, has a 25% cancellation fee (1/2 of the deposit) for that unit. Any unit with a reduction in the length of stay by the group or group member, 60 or more days before arrival has a 25% cancellation fee (1/2 of the deposit) for the nights reduced for that unit. For any unit cancelled by the group or group member, within 60 days of arrival, the entire deposit is forfeit. The balance of payment is due on or before arrival.
Additions - Adding units and/or days may be made (subject to availability) at any time with the same rules.
Check in Time for Lodging – Please be aware that Check-in time is 4:00 pm. Check-out time is 11:00 am. Arrangements for early check-in or late check-out must be made in advance, but may not be possible during busy times. You may be able to use the property before check-in with prior arrangement, please inquire. Early check-in or late check-out may be available at the manager's discretion and are subject to the timely availability of that particular unit.
Pet Policy – We accept well-behaved pets except in cabins 17, 19, 20, 21, 22 for an additional $20/pp/night in the lodge rooms and $30/pp/night in Cabin 18. Please let us know if a member of your group will bring their four-legged companion.
Alcohol -If you are having an event that uses the Reception Tent or you have guests that are not staying at Stone Mountain Lodge and Cabins, you must hire a licensed/insured bartender to serve alcoholic drinks. All alcohol must be poured by the bartender and the bartender must not serve someone who is obviously inebriated. You may not have a cash bar.
Number of Guests – at the time you make your group reservation, please let us know, as best as you can, the number of adults and children that will be in each unit.
Outside Guests – The invitation of guests that are not lodging at Stone Mountain Lodge must be arranged with Stone Mountain Lodge in advance. If alcohol is served at the Pool or Pond areas, you will need a professional bartender.
Cleaning/Damage Deposit – The group may be charged a $500 deposit depending on their intended use of the property, Reception tent rental, etc. We expect groups to treat the property with respect and be responsible for cleaning up after themselves in the various outside areas. Grounds and facilities cleanup by Stone Mountain staff will be charged at $75/hour. After these hours and any damages are subtracted from the deposit, the remainder will be returned to the group within 2 weeks of their departure.
No smoking is allowed in any unit. A $250 fine will be charged for non compliance.
Minimum stays and date restrictions apply
